Last night was bad (far east side of toronto… like Durham Region). It was over 180 and not only could I smell the smoke from inside the house, but my eyes were burning, too.
Having flashbacks to the fires from a couple of years ago. We were nowhere near (these were the Quebec fires IIRC) but outdoor AQI was bad for weeks, regularly topping 300 and peaking at 4-500. Had everything closed up, AC and multiple HEPA purifiers running, and it was still awful indoors.

My overactive imagination has been feeding me images of the parade lines of tanks rotating the barrel to the grandstand as they pass and doing a little dip as a salute of sorts. And then, in the last row, bam, live round. Instant hero.
I know it’s not going to happen, but a guy can dream, right?

And I do not recall ever hearing any stories about rust. Which, given its infamy, one would think would have been part of the lore by now if it was a thing.
MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 owners are ripping apart their new Joy-Cons in record time to check the stick drift situationEnglish1·2 days agoI think there’s something to the sitting idle angle. My launch joycons started getting drift 4-5 years ago. I did the usual clean out, then cut some plastic to put more pressure on the stick back plate and they were surprisingly fine. Two years ago I picked up an OLED, and my primary switch got very little handheld use after that.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when I grabbed my launch switch to upgrade the firmware and run some tests. The sticks were basically unusable. I have a couple sets of Hall effect sticks laying around, I guess now is as good a time as any to put them to use.

MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto Gunpla Building Community@lemmy.world•Day 17 of posting Gunpla1·2 days agoYeah I did a wee bit of cheating and just started looking at kits on dalong, but I had only gotten through HGs before getting distracted. The HG Jegan caught my eye, but didn’t match the proportions in the pic so I kept scrolling. The leg armor angles/flaring also scream Zaku/Gouf, so I was looking at Build kits as well.
Either way, it’s always fun to play guess the pieces.
MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto The Onion@midwest.social•JD Vance Pumped to Be Getting Two ChristmasesEnglish10·2 days agoNot sure if I’m being whooshed here… but Reagan’s VP went on to become president, whose son also became president after his other son, who was governor of a state, threw a wrench in that state’s election machine to muddy the waters, leading to contested recounts, interrupted by a “mob,” leading to the Supreme Court saying it’s too dangerous to continue, and awarding said state’s electoral votes to Reagan’s VP’s son, effectively handing him the presidency. The American people got two wars out of the deal and a veritable Who’s Who list of Bush family associates whose names keep popping up suspiciously even to the present day.
Unless you’re saying that Vance is just as knee-deep in the backstage corruption, in which case I agree, he’s a dangerous slimeball.

MelodiousFunk@startrek.websiteto Gunpla Building Community@lemmy.world•Day 17 of posting Gunpla2·2 days agoThe mix of curves and angles, combined with a more modern construction, has me thinking along the lines of the Gerbera Tetra. (Which it’s not, I already checked lol.)
Resource hidden where we can’t see it? Best to assume it’s infinite and there will be no repercussions.
